I'd say, who cares? The easiest behavior to change is your own.

Instead of trying to shut them down, why not just roll with it? If you want to take credit for this worthy activity, why not just talk about how many of your videos are featured on the distribution site? Uploading credit is certainly something to ask for, but in the case of an uncooperative host, a small watermark in the corner will certainly do the trick.

Just talk about how you're working with other teams/people to expand FIRST beyond your own personal capabilities.
